‘Noncitizen voting remains exceedingly rare in Oregon and around the country,’ Oregon Secretary of State said after review
Oregon officials admitted an error with the state’s automatic voter enrollment problem was larger than previously thought, registering 1,259 possible noncitizens since 2021.
Ten of the mistakenly enrolled individuals went on to cast a ballot, according to Oregon’s Secretary of State, although at least one became a citizen before voting.
The enrollment error was first unearthed earlier this month, with officials admitting to wrongly registering around 300 voters through an Oregon DMV program that registers legal citizens when they obtain a driver’s license or state ID.
